Friday’s Sound Off

I would like to thank whoever cut the tree down at 353 King St. in Pottstown. It looks so much better. It really was a hazard, it was rotted. So thank you for cutting that down, taking the initiative.

I think it’s time someone who knows the history when it comes to China and North Korea should talk to your president. There are over one billion reasons, billion with a B, why the United States has treated North Korea in a diplomatic way. A sleeping bear is what you could call China, and North Korea is China’s little brother. Very very troubling.

The Trump White House is imploding. There is always someone else for Trump to blame, never himself. Trump will not allow himself to be governed. He cannot govern himself. The past six months feel like a prologue to even more turbulence. At this point the remaining mystery is how, when and how badly this disaster of a presidency will end.

Oh Sound Off we missed you so much and we’re glad you’re back. I couldn’t get by without hearing about the bike lanes and the 25 mph speed limit and the barking dogs. So good to have you back.

The caller’s factual account of Snopes being controlled by Democrats is spot on and yet we have the LCDs (liberal crying Democrats) using it as their Bible and reference point. Totally laughable. Yo Jay Miller, are the polls showing Trump’s low approval ratings done by the same pollsters who predicted Hillary’s landslide victory? Just wondering. You need to watch Fox News my friend and become enlightened.

I have lived in Pottstown most of my life. You could always feel safe. Lately I haven’t. Then I went to the little park across from the police station and that man was playing his guitar and singing. I felt safe again. It’s a very nice place. Someone had to spoil it with the stabbing. Shame on you, the one that did it. I hope you spend a lot of time in jail. You took the good and he had a good heart.

I think the Russians have started to invade the area. Talking to some of the tavern owners and bartenders of clubs in the area they say the sale of Moscow Mules are up. So gees what can we expect?

John from Linfield

I just wanted to give a shout-out for Royersford for their National Night Out. It was awesome. Thank you so very much.

Every week there are 20 or more sheriff sales listed in the paper. This is very sad and depressing. I’m sure our illustrious elected officials in Harrisburg don’t look at this since they sit up there collecting their big paychecks and benefits and do nothing about these outrageous school taxes.

I cannot tell a lie. I actually think The Mercury was better when Sound Off was not printed. Half the articles that are in there are from delusional people; some are interesting but for the most part they’re not. I found the way the paper was set up while Sound off was not on it was very interesting and good and better for me anyway, but that’s only my opinion.

Gov. Wolf keeps saying that the opioid epidemic is a disease. No it’s not a disease. You can’t acquire it unless you take drugs. Let’s stop this nonsense. Call it what it is.

I’d like to put a call out to anybody out there who has a tent with sides, doesn’t have to be a huge one, that the Pottstown Pet Fair can borrow or rent. We are nonprofit and we are on a limited financial basis. We need to have this to show the CPR training that’s being done for small animals at the pet fair. So if anybody in the area can help us with the tent with sides please get a hold of us on Facebook at Pottstown Pet Fair.

To the person who stated in the Sound Off to give Trump a chance and they run him down, it’s not the way I see it. He is his own worst enemy. They just report what stupid things he says and does.

Bob Not From Mont Clare

Thank you to 65 years to Dr. Patt and Dr. Debbie Patt at the veterinarian hospital. They did a really good job and he started in Mooresville in a little building and built this beautiful place up. Thank you again.

I’ve always thought about writing a book. It will be called Jim Fitch’s Guide to Fashion. My friends say it should be a very short story considering how I dress.

Jim Fitch

I’m tired of hearing how Hillary lost the election, about the popular votes, blah, blah, blah. Come on you’ve got better things to talk about. Move on.
